I started sorting this 500 piece Buffalo puzzle this morning. I’m looking forward to putting together so many signs and words – words to assemble are my happy place. 🙂

Mom and I finished The Messenger yesterday, and I also started and completed a 300 piece after mom went home. Can’t say my mojo is back entirely, but perhaps it’s on it’s way home.

My oldest is driving me to Sam’s Club this morning to pick up a couple of things (and get more driving practice before his road test 😱). I wonder if they have jigsaw puzzles there? Hmmm.

The Messenger

So I didn’t lie to you all yesterday, I actually started a puzzle! My fantastic friend and fellow puzzle blogger Penny swapped puzzles with me and one of them was this wooden puzzle by Artifact called The Messenger.

Mom came over in the afternoon and we got going on this beauty – it’s gorgeous so far! I received the puzzle in a plastic bag so we have no image to work off of – we’re fine with that. 😁

I remember reading Penny’s review of the puzzle several years ago, and I’ve seen it before on Artifact’s website; we could look up the image if we really needed to, but I enjoy spending time with the pieces and figuring it out. Check out the interesting edge – love it!

Thanks again Penny!

I Chickened Out

Well, it’s no surprise to me that I didn’t even open the box of The Masters puzzle this weekend. I didn’t touch any puzzles at all. 😦

Luckily for me, I got four puzzles today. Two 300 piecers from mom that are secondhand, and two in the mail from Penny, one of my readers and email pen pals. We swapped a couple of puzzles, which didn’t cost much since we both live in the same state. 🙂 All four of them look like lots of fun!

Now I have four different ones to choose from and I am definitely, without a doubt, absolutely, no matter what going to start one of them today. Not only do I miss having the energy to sit and puzzle, I’m almost completely out of finished puzzles for this blog!

I think my readers have quite a few kids puzzles and micro puzzles to look forward to until I get my mojo back. Usually I would apologize for that, but this blog is about the puzzles I do, and I can’t choose them based on what other people like – otherwise my attitude would be worse than it is now. Yikes.

Weekend Plans?

Hubby brought me home a Springbok puzzle from this years Masters Golf Tournament – an image of the clubhouse. Not my ideal puzzle image, but he’d like to glue and hang it when I’m done so I’ll be assembling it regardless of whether or not I love it. I’m an awesome wife. ☺

Here’s the puzzle I’ll be doing, unless I chicken out…

Masters

What are your weekend puzzle plans? Something fun?

Mom’s coming over today to puzzle with me, we haven’t put a puzzle together in weeks! I’m very excited! It’s a 400 piece wooden puzzle that hubby bought me, so I’m not sure if we’ll get it finished or not but at least we’ll be able to spend time together doing one of the things we love. ❤

Good thing too, I’m running out of puzzles to post!
